Palm Sunday

Today, one week before Easter, is Palm Sunday. This is the day of the Triumphant Entry, where Jesus rode into the city on a donkey. A conquering ruler or king would have ridden in on a horse, but to show he was a peaceful ruler, he rode on a donkey. The people waved palm leaves and laid them out on the ground for him to ride on.
